We believe working families are, and have historically been, the lifeblood of the Kansas economy. Policy agendas pursued by our Governor and Legislature have left working families facing stagnant or declining wages, increasing benefit costs, skyrocketing property and consumption taxes, and an underfunded infrastructure. These decisions are irresponsible and unsustainable, and abandon government’s duty to act in the best interest of the state and its citizenry. We believe prosperity and progress for working people can return to Kansas, but only if lawmakers fulfill their duty to invest in Kansas and its citizens through quality education, health care and community services.
